Said At Southern Blog Madness

For a long time I’ve wanted to create a who’s who of the Said at Southern Network. Obviously, there are a lot of standouts in our field of 192 blogs. (58 alumni, 115 students, 19 faculty) So, I could never think of a fair system of evaluation – until now.

Just in time for the 1 year Said at Southern birthday.

What follows is a bracket style tournament (so to speak) of the best of the Said at Southern network of bloggers. The seedings are based on the number of “well said” tags I’ve given them over the past 30 days. Like all selection committees, I make no excuses for my bias.

These polls will remain open until next Sunday night. At that time I will take the top 3 picks from each bracket and advance them to the next round. I have designated each blog as A (alumni) or S (student). Once we get past the first few rounds I’ll bring in addition statistics.

You’re welcome to leave any comments below. If you’ve noticed, I excluded all faculty blog except the Rapid Fire from the Henry Institute. Let me know what you think. We might have to take our winners against them at a later date. I also disqualified Said at Southern itself for academic doping. My personal army of blogs were disqualified for using the Force to drive search engine traffic.

There are some other great blogs that I’ve had to exclude. I’m sure this list would look much different 3 months ago or 3 months from now. But it never hurts to peak at tournament time.

I am completely amazed, flabbergasted, overwhelmed, and stunned at the level of my support. To come up against such great Master Blogger as Timmy Brister and give him a run for his money…WOW…I am amazed. I expect him to pick up speed any time now and leave me chocking in the dust. Just a question, is there an electoral college if we start counting chads?

You ain’t right. I’m remain unconvinced about the “holy” part of holy kisses. Anyway, there’s got to be some kind of prohibition of boy kissing in our school code of conduct somewhere. At least if you are going to do it (to others, that is) be sure to carry one of those man purses. 😉

Let it be known that if I don’t make it to round 2, I commit myself right now to being a spoiler. Ralph Nader ain’t got nothing on me. And that is no threat my friends, that is about as certain as Kansas taking it all the way to the big house this year….!

We at elect exiles may not be winning the tournament, but we believe that the tournament is completely out of our hands and subject to the Lord who is sovereign over all blog tournaments. Plus we are not linking to the tournament and begging our readers to go and vote for us (cough*Hank*) as we believe this too to be out of our hands.

You see this way when we lose we can say that at least we were spending our time blogging about more important things.

But if the deficit gets to be too big, we might link to the vote!

I hope everyone knows I am kidding. I think this whole thing is nuts, but also fun!

What an incredible tourney baby! This field is full of some of the best diaper dandies in recent memory. I’m going for Darryl “Down Town” Wilson out of the East baby! He’s my sleeper in the this division baby! He has outside range (evangelism and missions) and he can take it inside and bang with the big boys on the block (apologetics). Wow, I am going insane at such an incredible tourney baby!
